| Definition | a subtype of counterpresuppositional contrast in which the sentence rejects a component of a prior assertion by excluding part of the rejected component rather than simply replacing it. Example: in the exchange John bought apples and peaches. No, he only bought PEACHES, the speaker rejects that what John bought was both apples and peaches, and restricts what John bought to just peaches. Only is a restrictive focus operator.

The Model of Comparative concepts for Constructicon Alignment (MoCCA; Lorenzi et al. 2024) proposes to connect constructions across and within languages using Comparative Concepts as a shared base of comparison. It adopts the set of Comparative Concepts provided by Croft (2022).
